Loaded-carrying contexts
RE-/PREHAB: Fingers, wrists. forearms & elbows
•
3m 8s
THE WHAT:
Lifting a heavy load, and walking. Two fundamental facts of life which, at first glance, can seem of insufficient intensity to compare to the likes of a 'Back squat' or 'Deadlift' - but there is a reason why forms of loaded-carrying are a staple of all 'Strongman' events.
The load can be near-maximal for the given distance/time walked, with the weak-link being not so much optimal form & execution as in heavy squat & hinge patterns, but, more immediately, raw GRIP-strength. This is specifically developed in the 'plate'-carrying contexts which require a grip resembling that of the climber's 'pinch'.
